It’s becoming a matter of who said what when it comes to the county’s emergency radio system.

Recently, the Calabash Fire Department Board of Directors drafted a letter to county commissioners saying members believe Brunswick County Emergency Services Director Anthony Marzano owes firefighters an apology for statements he made about how they used emergency radios during a recent restaurant fire.

Marzano says he hasn’t yet seen the letter and can’t directly respond to it.

For the past 20 years, Rex Gore has faithfully served the citizens of Brunswick, Columbus and Bladen counties as district attorney.

It’s a job that doesn’t come without a lot of criticism or controversy. When you’re the man leading a team that’s working to send people to jail, the reality is it’s unlikely you’re making a whole lot of friends.

But Gore handled the position with professionalism, and many crime victims from the area will tell you he also did it with compassion and sensitivity.
